Cracks in walls, sticking doors, and sloping floors are often seen as the first visible signs of subsidence—but by the time these symptoms appear, the underlying ground movement may already be advanced. What if we could intervene earlier, more precisely, and avoid the spiralling costs of delayed action?
At GEOSEC, we believe in prevention through early diagnosis. Using state-of-the-art geophysical techniques and our proprietary resin injection systems, we help building managers, surveyors and insurers detect and address structural issues before they become major liabilities.
Understanding the Ground Beneath
The most common causes of subsidence in the UK—such as clay shrinkage, washout from leaking pipes, or load concentration—develop invisibly beneath the surface. That’s why we begin every project with 3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and dynamic penetrometer testing. These tools give us a real-time understanding of what’s happening underground, without any excavation.
This proactive approach is especially valuable in older buildings, blocks of flats, and areas with a history of ground movement. Instead of waiting for visible cracks in walls or structural failure, we provide building owners with a clear risk profile and tailored remediation plan.
Targeted Resin Injection: Precision Without Excavation
If an intervention is needed, our expansive resin injection technique offers a fast, non-invasive solution. The resin expands under the foundation, compacting the soil and restoring load-bearing capacity almost instantly.
- No noise
- No disruption
- No digging
- And crucially: no guesswork
Every injection point is monitored in real-time for ground response, guaranteeing both precision and accountability—key factors for insurers handling claims related to ground instability.
Supporting Insurance Claims with Science
Many of our clients come to us when preparing or defending an insurance claim. GEOSEC’s process offers the technical evidence needed to support subsidence-related claims: soil movement data, load tests, and proof of structural response after treatment.
In this sense, our work is not just engineering—it’s also risk mitigation and documentation. That’s why we’re a trusted partner for loss adjusters and structural engineers across the UK.
If you’re involved in the maintenance, valuation or insurance of buildings, don’t wait for cracks to appear. Contact GEOSEC to discuss a proactive survey or feasibility study. We turn invisible risks into visible solutions—quietly, cleanly, and with absolute precision.
